    It is a long standing school, I will have to ask the teacher about it and see what she says!

    Thank you everyone for your replies, as some I you will already know my dd has only been doing ballet for 18 months and so I have no idea how any of this works, it just felt a long time to be doing one exam, but to hear others are also taking this long it has put my mind to rest! I will speak to her teacher and see what the plans are as you suggested hfbrew and get an idea of where she is heading. We are currently going through a lot of changes with my dd and her dancing so I just want to make sure she's not falling behind as I know other 11 year olds who are already working in grades 4/5 and IF....I'm not sure dd's teacher even does IF as there is no class for it on the timetable?!

    No they just do syllabus work moomin! And my dd was doing JA's, so depending on the month she would have maybe 2 or 3x2.15hr JA classes plus her once monthly class which is 2 hours x

    Hi all, just wondering if anyone can advise on how long a student would normally take to be ready to take an RAD exam? My dd has been in her grade 3 class since January last year and has yet to take the exam, she only attends an one hour class each week but the other girls in her class attend 3 times per week, surely that's a long time to be preparing for an exam?? Or is this normal?? I know there will be no set rule but in dad's other school which takes AAD exams they only prepare for around 12 weeks so nearly 18 months and still no exam seems excessive to me and I don't want dd falling behind when she was already a late starter!! Thank you in advance for any advice ????

    She has done very well and I'm extremely proud of her!! It's been an exciting introduction into the world of ballet for us and we both still have much to learn!! We are going to keep on going and hopefully increase her classes, but most of all just continue to love to dance!! While she loves it I'm happy to support her in whatever she chooses to do!! Xx

    Dd is fine thank you everyone, looking forward to continuing her journey, after all she had only been taking proper ballet classes for little over a year so I'm sure she still has much to learn and gain from this rollercoaster ride!! Congratulations again to the yeses I'm extremely happy for you all and wish you dc all the best on their adventure!! X

    Lovely to hear of so many yeses....but for us it was another no, dd not back from class yet so haven't told her, hope she doesn't take it too badly, it's been one hell of a year (well just over) first proper ballet class through to all the yeses and now the no's!! Well it sure is a rollercoaster and we shall be sitting down and making some decisions about what next for her, we need to step up the training if she's just stayin l

    MA's are mixed years 7,8 and 9 so there isn't a whole year 7 class to fill and the spaces that do become available are to be shared across the age range so not necessarily going to year 7 children as they are looking for 8 and 9's too xx
  14. Lema
    Oh wow!! Not going to mention that to dd but nice to know there are going to be 3 very happy people out there when they get an unexpected offer!! Fingers crossed for everyone on the reserve list x
  15. Lema
    Pas de chat it was only 8 this year ???? And yes there does seen a lot on the reserve list doesn't there Dancermum, would be interesting to know how they choose from that, whether the list is ordered? Hmmm one of those things we'll probably never know but wish we did, would be nice to know how far down the list dd was so whether there is any hope left!! Ah well!!
  16. Lema
    Thank you everyone, the letter was very nicely worded and fingers crossed to everyone with Elmhurst!! Only a few more days and we'll all know exactly where we stand and can move on from there x
